youtube HD is no longer choppy, thanks to working graphic driver. Resume after suspend no longer hangs. The full hardware potential of my little machine is finally unleashed.

fwiw, X101CH was a piece of junk prior to upup-raring, because no working graphic driver on linux. Win7 besides being slow, freezes sporadically

X101CH is now my machine of choice when I need a machine which is ultra portable and fanless.

I just have to write something to express my gratitude to upup-raring ringtail developers.

I wonder if the cedartrail developer realize the value proposition they could have had if they released enough technical info for something like upup-raring to be developed 2 years earlier? and are they going to continue to let microsoft to screw them up in the future? just like microsoft screwed nokia up. or is there something I am not understanding about business strategies of these large corporations?

I have briefly tested latest woof and compiled non-PAE 3.9.8 kernel. I created Upup Raring 3.9.8.

This one is result of couple of rainy days, when there wasnt much to do outside. Now....I will be really busy with activities next 3 days at last. I am in the safety boat in the lake in canoe championship race. I will spend next days around the lake following canoes. So....I will open new thread for Upup Raring 3.9.8 with appropriate announcement info when I have time. Maybe this evening or.....

But...if there are hasty people, they can check the build before I announce it properly. There are some changes since my previous Upup Raring build. Updates, changed applications, well....features from new woof and changed kernel.

I have spent also my samsung android smartphone mobile bandwith usage limit. I bought more.... but, it seems that using smartphone as wifi router has its limitations. Of course this need is temporary due to my vacation and summer cottage situation.

This post and distro upload has been done with my mother Huawei 3g modem, so support for 3g modems has been tested.

Not much time but zero problems with Raring 3.9.8 so far on the Athlon XP box.
Had to add nouveau.noaccel=1 to the kernel line but otherwise everything working well ootb. Much,much faster than Barry K's latest Raring...at least on this box.

Just back briefly. Thanks guys of the feedback.
Tlchost. You should create pdiag tarball and post it here as attachment. In console: pdiag

Peebee. Yeah. I have gone with proven formula. Udev-167, module-init-tools, no kmod package, no eudev. My kernels have had devtmpfs for eudev readiness enabled for sometime. So...if someone wants to be really adventurous, just swap that stuff from Barrys Raring Puppy and delete all udev and module-init-tools stuff and try to improve it. I will let it mature for now as long as old ways is good enough.

I read about the feedback from Raring Puppy thread, and I decided to stay with good old methods.

Right click the ppower - lightning symbol - icon in tray > hardware control > PowerTop. Or in console: powertop.

You can check the watt consumption in your laptop - netbook. Also you can somewhat tune the consumption with ready made options.
I get with Radeon driver about 24-26 watts with basic usage. With Catalyst it is only 15-16 watts, almost as less than with my integrated intel graphics in my dual graphics laptop. I do like Catalyst now. Catalyst also wakes up from suspend nicely.
